Took them out the eat on good restaurants and cafes and then, finally, one day at the end of a long, hot, trying road trip, we pulled into the worst maccas in Canberra and let them have a nasty, dry, tasteless cheeseburger.

I think I can understand the thing behind the maccas chip love - when they've been pulled STRAIGHT out of the fryer and they're golden, steaming hot and crunchy they are pretty tasty...but as soon as they cool then they do lose all taste and resemble soggy cardboard.
